Abstract

A hollow, cylindrical, vertically elongated body has an open top and a closed bottom. A cap is detachably securable to the top of the body to seal the interior to a spray dispenser with a spray head is located in the cap. A manually operable pump is attached to the body so as to allow the contents of the body to be pressurized. A protective hood is attached to the cap, and surrounds the dispenser head, so as to prevent the dispenser from being accidentally operated.

I claim: 
     
       1. A manually pressurizable spray dispenser, comprising: a hollow, vertically elongated cylindrical body with a closed bottom and an open top;   a hollow cylindrical housing with a cylindrical interior base and an open top end attached to the body intermediate the ends of the body and extending upwardly and outwardly from it;   a one way check valve communicating with the interiors of the body and the housing in a manner that air may flow from the interior of the housing to the interior of the body and not in the opposite direction;   a plunger located in the housing and being freely slidable upwardly and downwardly therein;   a top attached to the top end of the housing and having a tapped hole through which the plunger passes;   a knob attached to the top of the plunger, the knob having a threaded portion that can engage the tapped hole when the pump is not in use and thereby keep the plunger wholly inside the housing;   a cap threadably secured to the top of the body to seal the interior of the body off from the outside;   a spray dispenser with a spray head attached to the cap; and   a protective hood attached to the cap and surrounding the dispenser head to prevent the dispenser from being inadvertantly opened.
